sequence would be changed in the job memory for any future running of the job. The
repeats, outputs, pilots, speed and accel can also be adjusted at this time. When
finished, press the F4 key and the main menu screen will be displayed.

The last section to be covered is the ramp/counters section. To get into this mode,
press the ramp pushbutton and the following screen appears.

SELECT RAMP/COUNTERS
F1=BATCH/TOTAL COUNT
F2=ALTER ACCEL/SPEED
F4=EXIT TO MAIN MENU

F1=BATCH/TOTAL COUNTS

Pressing the F1 key will bring up the batch/total screen, which is used for presetting
the batch count or resetting the total count. The following screen appears.

BATCH COUNTER=000000
TOTAL COUNTER=000000
SET:F1=BATCH F2=TOTAL
F4=RETURN TO RAMP COUNT

Pressing the F1-batch counter key allows the operator to preset a batch count.
Pressing the F2-total counter key resets the total count to zero. This cannot be
undone so be sure that the counter should be reset to zero before pressing F2 key.
Pressing the F4 key brings up the following screen.

SELECT RAMP/COUNTERS
F1=BATCH/TOTAL COUNT
F2=ALTER ACCEL/SPEED
F4=EXIT TO MAIN MENU

The only section that has not been covered in this write-up is the ramp adjust mode.
The ramp adjusts how fast the servo motor gets up to speed and how fast it stops.
This feature is an asset that is seldom adjusted but can be a sure cure if material
slippage seems to be a problem. Pressing the F2 (alter accel/speed) key produces
this display.

RAMP PARAMETER MODE
